title: Highly stereoselective facile synthesis of 2-acetoxy-1,3(E)-alkadienes via a Rh(I)-catalyzed isomerization of 2,3-allenyl carboxylates.
abstract: A highly stereoselective Rh(I)-catalyzed 1,3-acetoxyl rearrangement of 1,2-allen-3-yl carboxylates leading to 2-acetoxy-1,3(E)-alkadienes has been developed. In addition to the high catalytic efficiency and the scope, the excellent E-selectivity of the double bond is remarkable.
